The Wall
Edit SpotAbout
This spot no longer works, since they have stopped dreadging the entrance to the harbour a few years back there has been such a build up of sand that the wave can no longer break along the wall, it just dumps on the beach, shame as it used to be good, so there is now nowwhere to surf in Thanet on a south westerly.
Atmosphere:
These waters get very crowded and can be very dangerous. The area of take off is small and
everyone sits in the one spot to catch the wave. The take off can be steep and longboards are not recommended. It can be a heavy wave with heavy
locals. Experience is essential. Beginners forget it, check out Folkestone instead.
Additional Info:
Crowds are a major issue if over 5 surfers in forget it or less they are the top crew... Great wave but can be dangerous.
